YET programme was organized for 8th, 9th, 10th, PUC I and PUC II students on August 5, 2018. A total of 158 students participated in the training programme of which 98 were girls and 60 were boys. Various classes were held for all the five classes.

The day began with registration which was done by Mrs Linet Doris Fernandes and Mrs Tejaswini. The Director of CODP, Fr Oswald Monteiro welcomed all and led the group into prayer. The CAP-YET Coordinator, Mr Cyril Vas motivated the students to prepare themselves seriously for civil services by taking genuine interest in the YET programme with perseverance. He also gave a brief description of the day’s various activities and sessions. He told them that henceforward there would be YET programme on every first Sunday of the month for all the five classes.
